Hello Thomas, <.....> TF> We are talking about different countries. I'm from the Netherlands. Quite average if I speak to my Scandinavian friends with their 10 and even 100 mbit home connections.
T>> Almost all people I know are on ADSL/SDSL/Cable. TF> I knew you were talking about broadband. So was I. TF> ISDN is close to unaffordably expensive. We had and still have ISDN. ISDN is still dialup. So you pay online charges. And that's what drove most people to broadband I guess. Normal ISDN is phased out here. It's being replaced by ADSL. 8096 kbit downstream/1024kbit upstream start at $48 here. That's always on and a data limit of over 200 GB/month TF> That's why only some TF> companies have it, and certainly no home user. ADSL is in planning, I TF> saw an ad that one company now offers this in certain streets in TF> Bangkok now, and cable is future music - you ask your local ISP's TF> customer service about cable, they wouldn't know what you're talking TF> about and refer you to a TV provider. :) TF> I saw a newspaper article that the government wants to make broadband TF> affordable. I am not holding my breath. If demand picks up things can go fast. But it also depends greatly on the infrastructure you already have. Optic fiber. Copper wires of good quality etc -- Best regards, Tony Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
